We were visiting family in West Palm Beach and when I realized we were only going to be an hour away from the gator boys, I knew we had to check it out. My son was super surprised and excited when we pulled up and he realized where we were. We got there right when they opened at 9 am and had bought our tickets online. So, we checked in, used the bathroom, and waited about 15 minutes until they loaded us on the airboat.
Our airboat captain was Captain Dan. He was great. Lots of humor while going over the safety which made it fun. Throughout the ride he shared history of the area as well as details of different animals we saw. We were very excited to see 2 alligators as well as several types of birds. The ride was fun and informative and I loved that the airboat was covered to provide relief from the hot Florida sun.
After the airboat ride, we had about 10 minutes until the next gator show so we checked out the gift shop. They had apparel, glassware, magnets, ornaments, and more for souvenirs. We bought a few items that I'm very excited about.
The gator show was short but very cool. The guy doing the show was unfortunately not from gator boys but from swamp men. But he was great and we enjoyed the show.
There are a ton of Everglades tours out there, but if you're a fan of gator boys, it's fun to check out their no kill sanctuary.
I definitely recommend checking it out if you're somewhat close!
